I like her Foxy,

However she is an updated all or nothing design just a bit lighter and faster then the 2  Italian AC 1913 designs which are currently in the water.  Using the 1912 Engine Tech I could only squeeze 27+ Knots out of slightly less then 14K ton hull.   Both have 8 x 10" guns.

I think she need at least 1,5-2m higher main belt as there is a difference of more then 1m between normal and full load, this will result in parts of the main belt becoming submerged if running at high speed.

I also find the lack of fire control worrying.
Alos, if following the model, should not two turrets be raised?

That's agressive. Then, what about the Swiss isn't. :D

Maybe the fire control exist. Orthey are the munitions stores ?
The only difference, between the balls of July 14th and the French Revolution, it is the size of firecrackers and the direction towards which we launch them.

The FC weigth 250 tons for barbarette mounts, so the ship is at least 110 tons short to get the FC she needs.

OK. So no fire control. For an " interceptor ", who must firing quick and precisely... That can raise ( big ) problem.
